No I don't. I had to clear it out to make room for all the skeletons.

I don't have a gift closet per se, but actually I start shopping in January for the year's birthday gifts and the next Christmas gifts. I have room downstairs to store them. Then I keep a list of what I've bought in a Word file so I don't forget. Every time I buy another gift, I add it to the list. Works for me.

I have a dedicated shelf in a walk in dressing room where I place items that I store gifts that I plan to give. I buy some little items to give as Hostess gifts .

I have a storage ottoman where I put gift I buy for specific people. That's also where I keep the wrapping paper, ribbon, scissors and tape.

Now that I've retired, I have no need to keep generic baby, wedding and congratulatory gifts on hand. The children in my extended family are adults with children of their own, so I no longer give them gifts. I do have a shelf where I store gifts that I've bought throughout the year for specific people for their birthday or Christmas, but I don't have a selection of generic gifts any longer. It's funny how one goes through different stages of life with different requirements for gift giving.

I don't but, yes, the hosts continue to talk about them.

The hosts also continue to tell us who we can buy for - the mail carrier, the neighbor, the dog walker, hairdresser, some random person who smiled at you once, etc., etc. LOL.

Years ago when I lived in my Texas sized house with Texas sized closets! Now, no more gift closet.

I retired a few years ago...no more need for office gifts. I guess I haven't been shopping much until I need something specific either. I need the closet space anyway!

No more gift giving at this house. Retired, family gone, etc. So it's gift cards for hairdressers and mail carrier and we don't exchange gifts any more.
